I don't think it's a secret. Our familiarity with the conference and our past wins have made us feel more confident and we're more focused on getting the job done now. If you can't get excited for conference games, you just can't get excited at all. |
It seems like we beat ourselves on the road. Whether it's due to turnovers or missing free throws, we just beat ourselves. We always have a strong game plan going in, but sometimes we'll have an inconsistent half and look up at the scoreboard after 20 minutes and realize that we've dug ourselves a big hole and now we have to get out of it. Hopefully, as we continue through the season we will learn from our mistakes and start coming around. |
That mentality of giving these kids that experience, even though we didn't fair as well as we wanted to in non-conference, was everything that we needed to reach our goals in the conference. |
We made a lot of mistakes when we went to their place. We had 29 turnovers and didn't shoot well from the paint. Now we're more familiar with our game versus their game and the good news is we get them at home. |
